Not as promised. Vision after first eye's cataract replacement was sub-optimal. I wanted Dr. Spellman to consider putting in a toric lens to correct for astigmatism. I was willing to pay for the upgraded lense. He said I didn't need it on this first eye; (most likely 2nd eye which had more astigmatism). He didn't have me use moistening eye drops ahead of surgery (though is standared of care) to treat potentially dry eye conditions & get accurate lense assessment. After surgery my vision was blurry. When eye healed completely... read more

I was ent to Dr Spellman after I had a retinal bleed .He diagnosed my Glaucoma and Macular degeneration.I hv been under his care for Glaucoma for 4 yrs and have found him to be a very thorough and capable physician. He did both my cataract surgeries as well as my husbands . His office staff are friendly and always helpful. I would highly recommend Dr Spellman to anyone in need of a physician for Glaucoma or eye surgery I would highly recommend

I'm very pleased with Dr. Spellman. My family doc recommended him when I wasn't seeing well. Dr. Spellman helped me with my dry eye and also removed my cataracts. My vision has returned and I don't need glasses now. I couldn't be happier. He is very nice and his staff is as well. He runs a busy, but very efficient practice. It's always a pleasure to go there. His new office in Carlsbad is quite nice.

I think Dr. Spellman is wonderful. He has taken care of my husband's glaucoma for many years and then did his cataract surgery when my husband was ready. He is meticulous and thorough in everything he does. He is also very kind. So naturally when my cataracts were ready I had Dr. Spellman do the surgery and everything went great. I have perfect vision now and the surgery was easy!

I highly recommend Dr. Spellman. He was recommended to me by several friends who had cataract surgery with him and were very happy with the results. He did my cataract surgery and everything is outstanding. It was a breeze. What I appreciate about him the most is that he takes the time to carefully explain everything. Very nice guy. His staff are charming as well.

Had cataract surgery. First eye was great. Didn't want second eye done because i felt great and could see great. Dr. Spellman hounded me and hounded me and insisted I needed to do the second eye. I have been in pain and miserable with constant watery, aching blurry eye!! I didn't want the second surgery!!! He would not let me wait! I could READ! I was comfortable!! I was happy! Now I am miserable and in pain everday!!! I can't even enjoy reading to my grandchildren.....
